The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu had a very constructive engagement with the Charge d’Affaires of the United States Embassy , Keith Heffern. Discussions were centered on matters of security and defence, border and migration challenges, counter-terrorism initiatives, intelligence sharing, visa issues and various other matters of mutual interest between our countries.
They also discussed collaborations within the Joint Working Group, measures to promote stability within the region as well as Nigeria’s CPC ( Country of Particular Concern) designation by the United States.
It was agreed that both countries will continue to engage on the necessary measures needed to reverse this designation, and to deepen the longstanding bilateral relations that exist between the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the United States of America.
